A widow has accused US Airways of being responsible for the disappearance of her late husband’s ashes from her luggage.
Angeline O’Grady, from Philadelphia, says her husband’s ashes went missing from her luggage as she flew to England to bury them in his home town of Hull.
Angeline’s husband, Brian, died of cancer in October 2011. She claims that Transportation Security Administration officials told her on 1 November 2011 that she wasn’t allowed to take the ashes through airport security.
She says she was directed to the US Airways counter and put the ashes in her checked luggage. She told WCAU-TV that when she got off in England, the ashes were missing.
A spokesman for the Tempe, Ariz.-based airline says US Airways apologises and is working to find out what might have happened with the remains.
